I Feel Like Travelin' On!

So we've had a great time the last few days. We arrived at home with my parents on last Friday afternoon and have enjoyed being with family. We rested all day on Friday so that Erika would be well enough for church on Sunday. Sunday, we went to one of our favorite supporting churches, Emmanuel Baptist Church in Ashland, OH. It's a small church that loves God and for whatever reason loves us. They took up a penny offering for us during their VBS last August, so we stopped in to give them a thank you card in person. The pastor had me to preach and they even gave us another outstanding love offering. We went to eat Mexican food afterwards, and then made plans to be with them again on Sunday night. Their church is only about 20 minutes away, and money has been kind of tight anyway--so we decided to stay close to home.

Monday was another "trip planning" day. I'm making plans to start cold-calling in Virginia. I spent the entire day getting a list together to start calling on Thursday. That night, we went to the Global Independent Baptist Fellowship meeting at Cleveland Baptist Church in Cleveland, OH. What a good night of godly music and preaching! We ran into several old friends and made some new ones. We went back tonight as well and saw some more old friends and made some more new ones! Ain't God Good.

Tomorrow we're off to Indianapolis. We've got a meeting in Greenwood tomorrow night, Chicago on Friday and Sunday morning, and nothing on the calendar yet for Sunday night (a great pastor just emailed me a list to see if I can drum up something on short notice). We're looking forward to these meetings, and then another in Roanoke, Indiana a week from this Sunday. As always, we're praying each church we get into will take us on for monthly support.

Our "miles driven" since the 4th of September (the beginning of this trip) is now 2,500. 2 1/2 weeks down, and 6 to go! Praise God for safety!
